LAURA A. BEATTY, OF GALESBURG, ILLINOIS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 362,705, dated May 10,1887.

Application filed DcccmbcrQ, 1886. Serial No. 220,480. ("No model.)

To (LZZ whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, LAURA A. BEATTY, of Galesburg, in the county of Knoxand State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Heating Attachment for Lamp-Chimneys; and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same.

My invention relates to a heating attachment adapted for adjustment uponthe upper edge of the chimney of a coal-oil or other lamp.

The object of this invention is to provide a simple, neat, and reliabledevice that can be secured upon the top edge of a lamp-chimney andremoved therefrom when desired, and that will, when in adjustment with alamp, afford a safe and convenient means of support for any light vesselto heat articles of food or drink, it being particularly available fornursery use at night or in a sick room.

\Vith these ends in view my invention consists in certain features ofconstruction and combination of parts, that will be hereinafterdescribed, and pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings making a part of this specifieation, Figure 1 is a view,in perspective, of the attachment in position upon the top of alamp-chimney. Fig. 2 is a side view of one of the principal pieces as ablank before bending into shape. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the base-pieceof the heater as it is formed before bending the clasp ends.

Referring: to the drawings, A is a plate of sheet metal cut or stampedinto form, as shown in Fig. 2. The three portions, ab 0, are made ofequal length, and have their upper ends turned over at a right angle aproper width. The lower edge, d, of the piece A is notched or slit atseveral points, 1 2 3, dvc. The piece A is bent to form a ring, and theprojecting ends 5 6 are secured together by rivets or other suitablemeans. At a point, 6, near the lower edge a flange, c, is turned on thering A of a proper width to form a seat for this ring.

The plate D (see Fig. 3) is stamped or cut from sheet-plate metal, andwhen struck out is substantially in the form shown. The projectin g ends1 2 3 are made of a proper length to form elastic finger-springs. Theseare bent downwardly and into shape to adapt them to bear upon the outersurface of alamp-chimney when the ring D is placed upon the top edge ofsuch a chimney.

The turret-ring A and base-ring D are secured together in any suitablemanner, so as to make these parts integral. They will pre sent theappearance shown in Fig. 1.

\Vhen the heater is placed upon the top end ofa lamp-chimney, the heatthat is generated and ascends can be utilized to warm the contents of ametallic or other proper vessel, that may with safety be placed upon theprojecting ledges or flanges formed to support a receptacle.

The openings formed between the upright turrets a b c aii'ord amplespace for draft, and thus obviate any possibility of the smoking of thechimney that would resultfrom an impeded upward passage ofthe productsof combustion.

If desired, the turret-riug A (shown in Figs. 1 and 2) may have thesprings 1 2 3 made of the same material and cut out with the same diethat forms the turret-pieces, the springs being bent into shape afterthe ring is formed from the flat plate; and, in case this method isemployed, bearing-cars or a projecting flange for the support of theturrets may be formed integral with the lower edge ofthe band or ring onwhich the turrets are upright pr0- jections.

It is evident that other forms of construction may be used to produceanalogous de vices. I therefore do not wish to restrict myself to theexact forms shown and described, but wish latitude to adopt such plan ofconstruction within the scope and spirit of my invention as may be bestadapted for the pur pose.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

A heating attachment for lamps, consisting, essentially, of a base-ringhaving depending spring-arms, and the turret-ring secured to thebase-ring and having upwardly-projecting arms adapted to form a supportfor the article to be heated, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.

LAURA A. BEAT'IY.
